Upgrade for Ettalong hall

Gosford Council has knocked back three of four applications to fund hall upgrades on the Peninsula.

The successful application was for $1620 from Ettalong Ratepayers & Citizens Progress Association to sand and seal the Ettalong Progress Hall's timber floor.

Umina Child Care Centre requested $3020 to remove and replace guttering, facias and flashing and install gutter guarding, but was told it was able to fund the improvements themselves.

The Woy Woy CWA requested a $814 contribution for the installation of access ramps, but was told that it was more appropriate to be funded through Accessible Building Grants.

Ettalong Public School's P&C committee requested a total of $52,500 for a covered veranda for its Araluen Cottage, a new meeting room and a disabled toilet.

The request was rejected because access to the facility was restricted to the school community and not to the whole community and schools were not a target of the program.
